Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning 🙂 5.6 for me today.

Aha, so you did take the sleep! 5.1 for me and a very irritating night of little sleep. Apparently I have superhuman carb tolerance at night. Is there a lunchtime diabetes, coz I'm pretty sure that's what I've got, only have to look at rice between 12 and 3 and I'm rocking a 9, at 6pm not even a flutter 🙄

Not really, I think someone from another forum must have got it 🙄 I only have a daytime diabetes, since my levels generally stay OK overnight without insulin. Perhaps we should put it to our consultants that diabetes should get some more sub-categories: T1DM(D), T1DM(D/N), T1DM(L) (Day, Day/Night, Lunchtime) 🙂

Thought I might have had one of 'those' hypos last night, as I woke up boiling and drenched. I tested though and was 5.4 (4.7 before bed, plus jelly baby). Could have had a hypo and just not rebounded much, I suppose.
 
Good morning 6.7 today Was 6.1 at bedtime
 
Thanks Northerner I have to change my mindset and look at the small rise Just seeing a higher morning reading bothers me But I do understand it's not so bad 🙂

Well that other forum should just use their own sleep, stealing ours isn't cricket! I am the expert on mild hypo with tiny rebound I caught them after some rigorous testing a dip into the 3's usually at around 2 and then a little pop of liver elixir and back to a nice 5 by morning. They're annoying, I prefered a crashing hypo that woke me up because at least I'd get back to sleep again. Never mind the consultants I'm going to the press....lunchtime diabetes shocker :D

I'm the same Limdarose, but that's really nice stability you've got going on there, you should congratulate yourself on that alone 🙂

50 shades of diabetes! 🙄

Morning folks.🙂 6.1 here (9.7 at bedtime, 4.3 at 5.15, juice). My Lantus is now down to 9 units. I was on 16 units before Xmas!!? I suppose it is getting warmer...:confused:

Mine is up and down like yoyo and weather definitely plays a part for me but not 7 units worth. I think Lantus is in league with the devil, think about it Sanofi/satan, Lantus/Lucifer see where I'm going? Yes? Insanity is beckoning.
 
Good morning 🙂 the elusive House Special of 5.2 for me today and no overnight hypo - I went to bed on 9.0 for an experiment as was bored of hypos 🙄
 
Thanks Northerner 🙂 I'm dropping too much overnight and am trying to basal test to sort it out but keep having to abandon testing because of going hypo. Maybe tonight will be the night.

I hope so! Good luck! 🙂
 
Morning, off to a better start today 6.8 hopefully the new meds are starting to take over from the gliclazide.

I really hope so pav, you deserve a break! Hope the better numbers continue! 🙂

Me too, only on my 3rd day of new meds, giving it a week for the old meds to wear off and new ones to take over.

Hopefully can keep out of the teens and the 20's, if not back to the drawing board. Defiantly don't want to see another gliclazide table, for me they are just the pits in medication.
 
Interesting thread !

From diagnosis last July my waking sugars were consistently in the 6 - 6.5 range, but lately (last month or so) they have been in the 7 -9 range.

I've also noticed that my daytime sugars are higher than they used to be (5.5-7 but now anything between 7.5 and 12)- my diet is still as carb and sugar-free as I can make it and I'm still slowly losing weight (total of 2st 9lb lost so far, so back within normal weight and normal BMI ranges🙂)

The only thing that I can think of for the rise in BG is a reduction in the amount of exercise I get - well, it's been far too cold for my usual long walks !)

I would say that is almost certainly it susieq, not only do we use energy as we exercise, we also make our bodies more sensitive to the insulin we are producing, so levels will fall more. But you are doing really well, with good, steady levels, so well done - and well done on the weight loss as well! 🙂
